With Zhu Yeqing's defection, the atmosphere on Aquarius Mountain became even more wrong.
For the next two days, people escaped every night, and even killing several people failed to stop the trend.
Yidandiao saw everything in his eyes and knew that he could not wait any longer.
If you wait any longer, you will become thirsty and will collapse before others come to beat you.
"Tonight, I want to force a breakout. What do you think?"
In the Juyi Hall, everyone was carrying a heavy load with sad faces.
"Brother, let's rush in separately. Whoever rushes out counts."
The second and fourth bosses also have no good solution.
In the end, the three of them gathered together and decided to divide their forces into three groups, and they had to break out even if they had to force their way through.
Unfortunately, the road down the mountain had long been blocked, and Maxim's voice was particularly deafening.
After charging twice in a row, the bandits who lost their troops and generals were beaten back to the mountain, and their already low morale collapsed completely.
night...
A mutiny broke out in Baoping Mountain, and the fourth master "walked all over the mountain" killed the other two masters and raised a white flag in the village.
At this point, the Zhangjia Civil Regiment of Dagou Town took down Baoping Mountain without any bloodshed. The only injured person was that he walked too fast when going up the mountain. His foot slipped and he rolled down the mountain and broke his leg.
"It is indeed a bandit's den that has been occupied for hundreds of years. This watchtower and this bunker are indeed well built."
Zhang Heng stood on the mountain, followed by Man Shanzao who was tied behind his back. He turned around and asked: "By the way, how did you get these nicknames? One load, two feet red, bamboo leaves green, Man Shanzao, what kind of mess is this?
of!"
"Grandpa Zhang, when he first came up the mountain, he was just yelling nonsense. Later, he got better and got better at it, and his name was also known. It was too late to change it again."
As the first bandit to surrender, Zhuyeqing received the best treatment.
Among a group of bandits, he was the only one who did not have to be tied behind his back and walked in front to lead the party.
"Go, go, who is your grandfather!"
Zhang Heng looked disgusted, then looked at the militiamen beside him: "This is because you are uneducated. You know, you need to study more, otherwise you won't even be able to get a nickname."
"Know..."
Everyone responded sparsely.
Study, study is nothing.
That is to say, Zhang Heng is the clan leader. If someone else were to replace him, he would have to spit in his face.
“The place is really nice!”
Zhang Heng was wandering all over the mountains and plains.
Baoping Mountain is like a bottle, with a big belly and a small mouth. There is only one way up the mountain.
The defenders stood on the top of the mountain at Pingkou, from a commanding position, and fired along a path up the mountain. The few thousand lives lost were not enough to fill the gap.
Moreover, on both sides of the Aquarius Mountain, there are two dangerous Seer Mountains, which are like the ears on both sides of the bottle and can also assist shooting.
Zhang Heng turned around a few times and was glad that he did not attack forcefully.
Otherwise, after one battle, his militia will have to be wiped out.
“Great place, really great place.”
"Here, here, and there, if we set up a few Maxims and prepare a few rifles, who can attack them?"
Zhang Heng stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the winding road up the mountain.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a company could drag a US Army division for three days. The reason for the fight was to take advantage of this perfect terrain.
More importantly, Aoping Mountain is not a battleground for military strategists.
It doesn't have much strategic significance. No one would attack a place like this unless necessary.
If there is a natural or man-made disaster in the future, the residents of Dagou Town can retreat to the mountains and use Baoping Mountain as their gateway, so they can sit back and relax.
"The order is given that the Zhang family in Dagou Town will have a public trial of the Baoping Mountain bandits in Dagou Town in five days."
"Anyone with a grievance or grudge can come and watch the proceedings, and those who come will be given five kilograms of fried noodles."
Zhang Heng ordered: "Hurry up and post this order all over the villages and towns in Jiangyang County. Which bandit should be killed and which bandit should not be killed will be decided by the villagers after a public trial by the people."
"Yes, patriarch."
Someone took the order and left.
"Huzi, you are still in charge of the militia. If you need to expand ordnance, you can write a note and give it to me to purchase equipment. I will see 1,500 soldiers in half a month."
Zhang Heng looked at Zhan Zhenhu.
"Don't worry, Patriarch, as long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong."
Zhang Zhenhu quickly assured.
"Cousin."
Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Zhentian again: "You will preside over the public trial of the bandits this time. After the public trial, your prestige should no longer be lower than that of Mayor Bai. At that time, I will 'persuade' him to abdicate in favor of a more powerful person. Dagou Town
You will take over the position of mayor."
"Thank you, patriarch."
Zhang Zhentian was also very happy.
"Dakui, there used to be no township office in the town. If something happened, we had to notify the county. This was too troublesome."
"I have decided to appoint you as the director of the township office of Dagou Town, and allow you to select thirty soldiers from the militia as township office patrol officers to manage the security of thirteen villages in a town. Can you be a good director of security?"
Da Kui was overjoyed and said continuously: "Chief, I can do it, I am so capable."
Zhang Heng shook his head helplessly, and then said to Zhang Zhenhu: "In the future, part of the militia will be stationed at the Zhenbei Military Camp of Dagou Town, and some will be stationed at Baoping Mountain. Without my order, the militia cannot participate in local affairs. Zhang Zhentian will be responsible for government affairs, and public security
Dakui will be in charge, you just lead the troops."
Zhang Zhenhu didn't understand the separation of military and political affairs. He only knew that his rights were given by Zhang Heng. He couldn't refute at all: "Yes, clan leader."
"Your burden is very heavy. There are nearly 1,500 militia soldiers now."
"When there are too many people, it's easy to get into chaos. You have to learn to mediate and mediate. I don't want to hear news that the vigilante group is doing evil, otherwise I will question you!"
Zhang Heng's face was stern and he pointed at Zhang Zhenhu.
"Yes, patriarch."
Zhang Zhenhu stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Heng waved his hand and his expression softened a bit: "Contact John later and ask him about the prices of military trucks and cars over there."
Zhang Zhentian was a little surprised: "Chief, cars and military trucks are not cheap. Take a Buick as an example. One car costs 1,200 US dollars, which is 4,800 yuan. Military trucks are even more expensive. One car only costs 4,800 yuan."
It costs NT$6,000 to start, and it also requires refueling and maintenance every month, which is not a small amount of money."
"You do not understand."
Zhang Heng had a large amount of spare money in his hand, and had made a small profit after wiping out Aoping Mountain. Naturally, he would not care about the tens of thousands he spent to buy a car.
"The world in the future will definitely be dominated by four-wheeled vehicles. Let's take it from Dagou Town to Echeng. It takes half a day to go by carriage, but it takes one or two hours by car. How much of one's time can be wasted like this?"
"Listen to me, five cars will come first, and then twenty military trucks will come."
"I'll put three of the cars here, and then you and Hu Zi will have one each."
"Twenty military trucks, ten from Zhenbei Camp, ten from Baopingshan, and as for the township office."
Zhang Heng was silent for a while: "Going in and out by car is too far away from the masses. I will buy you twenty bicycles and equip them with five fast horses. You can use them when you go to the mountains and countryside in the future."
"Thank you, patriarch."
Dakui is not picky either.
It is good for the security patrol officers of the township office to have bicycles and horses to ride on, and they must be of sufficient rank to ride in a car.
Zhang Zhentian is the future mayor of Dagou Town, and Zhang Zhenhu is the leader of the militia.
One of them is in charge of government and the other is in charge of military affairs. They are Zhang Heng's right-hand men.
In contrast, the township office is only responsible for resolving neighborhood disputes and preventing thieves, and its importance is not comparable.
boom!!
Five days later, there was a burst of gunfire.
Hundreds of bandits with a record of crimes were shot dead on the spot, and the cheers grew louder and louder.
Conquering Baoping Mountain and wiping out eight hundred bandits made the Zhang family in Dagou Town famous overnight.
I believe that as businessmen traveling from the south to the north spread the word, it won’t be long before the entire Handong Province will know the name Zhang Family in Dagou Town.
Because in the early days of the establishment of the Republic of China government, there was consideration of annihilating the Aoping Mountain bandits.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that this is a hard nut, and the gains outweigh the losses if you chew it.
Now that the bandits have been wiped out by the Zhang family, the Zhang family will naturally attract the attention of interested people.
There are good and bad aspects to this kind of attention.
Of course, no matter good or bad, Zhang Heng is not afraid of it.
